"I have no respect for those who substitute self righteousness for wisdom. I much prefer wisdom in the pursuit of true righteousness...You are the only one wearing out a tired argument. Bye."

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

Yes, it's a tired, old threadbare argument, but one that at least a few of us still attempt to abide by. Those self-righteous founders who thought it was government's duty to secure the right to life...anachronisms to the likes of you, as apparently you know better than they...but I'm the one who's self righteous.

I have no respect for one who would pick and choose, and re-order the articulated principles that founded this nation.

Sheer ignorance. You don’t even know where we agree and disagree. Clueless, but without doubt you are.
